  1. A quotation from Montaigne

    A man must not always tell all, for that were folly: but what a man says should be what he thinks, otherwise ’tis knavery.
     
    [Il ne faut pas tousjours dire tout, car ce seroit sottise : Mais ce qu’on dit, il faut qu’il soit tel qu’on le pense : autrement, c’est meschanceté.]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Cotton/Hazlitt (1877)]

  2. Why do Conde Nast’s partners need to identify me by my device characteristics? There’s no obvious reason for this to be “necessary” for my use of the site, so this appears to be deliberate non-compliance with the Data Protection Act.
